Rock-a-bye baby

Christmas is only a few days away.  I've been feeling pretty good that I didn't have any new projects that I started to give as gifts.  Very unstressful.
Well, that was until today.  I decided that I needed to make a doll bed quilt for a doll bed I was giving to a little two year old girl named Allayna for Christmas.  She loves her little baby dolls and is always  laying them down for naps.   Now she'll have a little bed to put them in.
The doll quilt is small, only 16" by 20" and really only took a couple hours to make.  In fact, the fabric I used was left over from a baby quilt that I made for Allayna a couple years ago when she was born.  So this project was fun and unstressful.

This is Allayna's quilt

What a wonderful way to use up those leftover scraps of fabric.  I know Allayna will have hours of fun covering up her baby doll.
I think I'll have to make some doll diapers with velcro closures for her, but not for Christmas.  She has a birthday in January.  Time to measure up her doll.
